R. Kelly
“Bad Man”
“Shaft”: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Director: Hype Williams.
It looks R. Kelly has fallen from his “I Believe I Can Fly” level of success. I mean how do you go from that to “Gotham City” and then to this? I mean hey, it’s not even like “I Believe I …

After the very successful album War, released in 1983, U2 have managed to release another great record so quickly afterwards. I think that this album, The Unforgettable Fire was an album which escalated their skill and level as musicians. I think that this 1984 album demonstrated how much and …

A song sang by Westlife, but in my opinion, most likely to have been wrote by their manager, at least he was their manager at the time, Ronan Keating.
The reason why I suggest it was put together by Ronan is the lyrics. This is without doubt a love song, …

Director: RAGE

Indescribable by Chris Tomlin is a song that sums it all up. Indescribable is just the word to describe what god is. He is hard to explain and in so many ways you can’t explain him that’s why I agree he is one hundred percent Indescribable. I like this …

Black Limousine is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Tattoo You. The track starts off with a clear blues rhythm and right away you definitely get the sense that this will be a blues-rock song. I don’t mind this at all since it’s better …

As the front man of the popular Florida band Tabitha’s Secret and later of the more globally known Matchbox 20, Thomas performed very well. However, I feel that his most profound songwriting and performing ventures have been as a solo recording artist.
‘Smooth’ is a song with a slightly Spanish …

Korn is one of my all-time favorite bands, and they always know how to rocks. However, the recent loss of their guitarist is apparent since he brought a distinctive sound to any song with his loose-string playing, and it brings this CD down. My favorite song on …

episodes, in part because of the flute music. This CD also contains …

I’ve liked a few tunes by Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics. I’m not overly fond of mellow music, especially by female singers. When my friend loaned me her Annie Lennox Medusa CD I didn’t jump at the opportunity to listen to it right away. In fact, it …

Black Eyed Peas Where Is The Love is a beautiful song I like listening to because it talks about how the world is today. No lies so far I have found in this song. It talks about how we need to do as we say and proclaim and not …

Bees is a song by Animal Collective and is the fifth track on their album Feels. In contrast to the previous track on the record, The Purple Bottle, Bees returns the sound of the record to a far more melodic and relaxed tone similar to that present on Flesh …

It was obvious that this was going to be the last album by the band and so there must have been a tremendous amount pressure on the musicians. They definitely did not want to disappoint such a big number of fans. Of course the fans will always have their …

After a pretty average last album, back came Eminem with a new one, Relapse and the first release, Im Not afraid.
It was typical Eminem, for me back to his best. The indication was that he was now rapping about something that has happened and is real and important and …

I think everyone knows who Madonna is and who Justin Timberlake is and so these two popular singers did a combination in Madonna’s newly released song named “Four Minutes (to save the world)” from her new album entitled Hard Candy. I first heard Four Minutes on the local radio …
